Guantanamo Bay: Tourist Destination

We all know that the economy here in the US isn't going so well. So what can we do? Well for one, we can take money from other countries by invading them.

No, not good.

Lets try a more peaceful way shall we? How about letting them enjoy the great tourist destinations of America? Better yet, lets let the tourist enjoy our wonderful and successful foreign policies! That is why the American government is promoting a new vacation destination at the infamous Guantanamo Bay.

Though it is such a blemish on the US reputation, it is also a GREAT place to spend your summer with your kids. For one, you could say:

"Kids, that's why you don't buy 200 bags of fertilizer form Home Depot two days before the president comes to your hometown."
Or maybe:

"If you don't want your head to be forcibly doused in water by trained interrogators, stop eating my Cheetos!"
Also, who could forget the wonderful beaches that surrounds the detention center, or maybe the wonderful fishing environment. Still, who could forget the gift shops that offers such wonderful gifts as a child sized t-shirt that reads "Future Behavior Modification Instructor" (The child t-shirt on the right).

Meanwhile, here are some other pictures of the wonderful souvenirs available there:

Well maybe the terrible past reputation of Gitmo may be hindering your willingness to visit them, don't worry. Here are some nice slogans for the promotion (Source: NPR):
Position stressful? Try our stress positions.

A great vacation you're going to be forced to talk about.

Finding life a trial? At Gitmo, we don't allow them!
Oh yes! The joys of waterboarding.
